SMILE EMPTY SOULSean Danielsen (guitar/vocals) Ryan Martin (bass) Jake Kilmer (drums) After everything Smile Empty Soul has been through over the past several years, you’d have to forgive them for having a chip on their collective shoulder. But instead of an attitude, they’ve returned with Consciousness, an album that bleeds with the guitar-driven urgency that their fans have grown accustomed to, and bristles with a lyrical intensity born of the depths from which the Los Angeles-bred band have risen. Consciousness is the band’s third album, but the first release for a new joint partnership between the F.O.F. Label Group and EMI Music. The new label marks the dawning of a new era for Smile Empty Soul, one where their creative fires can burn as bright as the path they’ve blazed since the release of their self-titled debut in 2003. Driven by the breakthrough success of their smash single “Bottom Of A Bottle,” the album was certified Gold by the RIAA, heightening expectations for the band’s sophomore release. But far be it for great hard rock to thrive without strife. Enter the corporate censors, who in the midst of sweeping major label acquisitions and mergers were afraid that a line from the song “Holes” – “Just admit that Jesus died for me, take your bibles and go home” – would be found offensive. When asked to edit the track, which was the lead single from their completed second album, Anxiety, Smile Empty Soul refused. The ensuing struggle, combined with an upheaval of top label brass, led to a parting of ways between the band and Lava/Atlantic Records, and the finished album was never formally released. The drama spurred their productivity, and the ensuing effort Vultures, their “official” sophomore release (though technically their third album) was released. “We were pretty much all just pissed off, and the Vultures album was really angry in a lot of ways,” explained Sean Danielsen, the trio’s guitarist , vocalist and principal songwriter. “Vultures was a reaction to everything we’d gone through with the debut, the process of making the second record and going through the emotional roller coaster of the album not coming out after working so hard.” The hard work and chemistry is evident throughout Consciousness, where Smile Empty Soul re-emerges like a phoenix from the flames. “We’re all in a much more comfortable, positive space, and we were from the start of this album process – it shows,” says bassist Ryan Martin. While they speak with the wisdom of industry veterans, the irony is, the members of Smile Empty Soul are all only 27 years old. That young age, coupled with nearly a decade of band experience, helps cast the band’s future in an even brighter light. “We’ve just become so much more confident in how we want this band to be, and we have matured so much over the past couple of years, that it’s been the smoothest recording process we’ve ever been a part of,” continues the frontman of the new release. The album’s lead single, “Don’t Ever Leave” bounces with a contagious rhythm and wide open, jangling verse that builds into a driving chorus. It is Smile Empty Soul just as their fans love them, but with the added depth and texture of a band that’s not afraid to build on their past to ensure a more engaging future. Standout tracks on Consciousness include the pining strains of “Compromise,” the grinding propulsion that builds “Ban Nuys” into a twisting and scaling progressive musical peak, and the acoustic strains and emotive pleas of “O’Lord,” the heart-on-your-sleeve closing track that Danielsen describes as a “call for help from a dark place,” inspired by his battles with alcohol. Lyrically, the singer says that Consciousness is set apart from previous Smile Empty Soul lyrics by the more open nature and interpretation of his vocals. “In the past, a lot of our stuff has been specifically about events or stories, and on this record a lot of the songs are about a particular feeling, mood, or place you’re in emotionally. They’re not as specific, and you can let them take you wherever you want.” The band’s musical approach was similarly open-ended. “This album is more progressive than anything we’ve ever done. There are more tripped-out weird parts, and good little parts for stoners to drool all over themselves and vegg out and listen to. We’ve come a long away,” Danielsen sums up of the new release. “We’re always playing music, and we are always progressing and developing as musicians, and I think that musicianship really shows on this record.” Consciousness comes from a good place for Smile Empty Soul. And they hope it brings listeners to one, as well.

Jonnie Morgan BandKnown around Orlando as JMB, the Jonnie Morgan Band has come alive to be "the band to see" around town. After years of writing songs throughout college and playing weekly acoustic shows around the Unviersity of Central Florida, Jonnie Morgan (rhythm guitar, lead vocals), decided to put together a band in late 2009, bringing in local musicians from all backgrounds and influences, in an effort to form a band with a unique, yet unforgettable sound. Andy Westrick and Corey Paul, the bands trumpet and trombone duo, both studying in the Jazz department at UCF, feed off of each other during live shows, bringing high energy hits to Morgan's melodic tunes. Donald Joseph's (Drums) hip-hop/alternative rock drumming and Brandon Sollins (lead guitar) licks on lead guitar elevates the band's unique sound. Jeremy Adams (bass guitar), also a key player in the band, studies composition at UCF and has been working with Morgan since 2008 to find the right musicians for the sound they wanted to create. Now, years later, the Jonnie Morgan Band is taking things to the next level, releasing their EP, Reflections In The Water, in mid-2011. This collection of talented musicians are the ingredients to what may be the perfect musical recipe; promoting and pushing their sound for the world to hear

Milk Carton SuperstarsThe Milk Carton Superstars website features downloads of the band's two albums, Please Keep Smiling and Into the Future Backwards.

John has been writing and performing since he was a child. Though not continuous, he has made it a point since 1998 to dedicate his career goals to music alone. John grew up in Levittown Pennsylvania and played in the local club circuit for several years after graduating high school. After moving to Largo Florida he sought out musicians for a new band. After many band line ups and frustrating attempts to collaborate, he decided to hire musicians for studio work. In 1998 he completed his first CD. 3 CDs later and with many more songs lined up, John is proceeding to get his music heard everywhere possible. Though Rock & Roll is his favorite genre, he doesn't want to stop there. John has written Big Band Swing arrangements, Country, and much more. "Classification of an artist seems so limiting to a person that enjoys variety". So he continues to perfect his craft and spread his creation in many directions. Another creative area being recognized is his videos. John has several low budget videos he has been producing for his material. They're being used on internet radio shows and podcasts throughout the world. Though performing is his favorite and most exciting area of the music business, it's safe to say enthusiasm exists in all areas of John's creative endeavors. John can create on the spot. If an idea or need for a musical part is required, he probably can have pretty good input for it in a short period of time. With hundreds of songs and song parts recorded on tape, he has a wide variety to choose from. John does play out at Open mics, Open jams and guest sings for most of the local bands in the Tampa Bay area when possible. John is also starting to do showcases again and looks forward to performing in as many places as possible in '2011'. In Mar. 2011 MusikAndFilm/Cinderella Records released the "John Daly Project" Album to the World.
